The problem is....in this ecconomy people ARE cutting back, and $200 for a baby quilt, even for the wealthy, is a lot. I am also a wooden bird carver........sometimes it takes me a month to do a carving. People see them and want to buy them. No one realizes the labor that goes into hand made goods. People really don't want to pay more than $60 for anything hand made. That doesn't even begin to cover your supplies, and labor!
The gal who said she gets $25 for alterations is right. You will never get that for quilting.......no one appreciates the labor!
